Only 15m pounds have been contributed by the club to those costs, and the club will pay between 2 and 2.5m pounds, a year in rent. Manchester City and Tottenham hot Spurs pay higher rent in comparison, with the former paying 4m a year and the latter between 11m and 15m pounds a year to use Wembley Stadium. It seems quite clear that West Ham have been favored here, though this may just be a reflection of just how impressed some of their backers might be with their development of late.
Supporters’ trust nationwide believe the deal gives the team a competitive advantage, and requested the fine details under The Freedom of Information Act.
